Motel Mexicola
$$ Found on Google Maps 3 Oct 2026
Motel Mexicola is an exuberant, multi-level Mexican restaurant and lively party institution situated on Jalan Kayu Jati in Seminyak. Bursting with 1960s Acapulco nostalgia, the venue is festooned with vibrant geometric tiles, vintage religious shrines, hand-painted murals, and tropical hanging plants. The kitchen turns out delicious regional Mexican street fare including fresh ceviches, slow-braised pork carnitas tacos, and wood-grilled quesadillas. As the night deepens, tables are pushed aside and the entire restaurant erupts into a spirited dance party with tequila flowing freely and patrons dancing on tabletops.
